Premarital Counseling

Give your relationship the foundation it deserves.

You are planning a future together. You are probably excited and maybe a little nervous. The decision to marry comes with many unknowns and potential life changes. You may be navigating wedding planning, relationships with future in-laws, sharing finances and division of household duties. You might be wondering how to keep your communication and intimacy strong for life. You might be asking:

  • Are we ready for this next step?

  • What will our roles and responsibilities look like in marriage?

  • What do we want our future to look like?

  • How do we talk about the hard stuff without it turning into an argument?

  • How can we protect our connection over time?

You are not alone in wondering these things. And you don’t have to figure them out on your own. At Integrative Couples Therapy, we help couples slow down, get clear, and grow stronger, so you can move into your marriage with intention, understanding, and trust.

This about preparing for a life together.

Premarital counseling is an opportunity to explore what’s working, get honest about what needs attention, and learn the tools to form a strong partnership for life. We will guide you through meaningful conversations about:

  • Communication, conflict, and how you each tend to respond under stress

  • Emotional connection and how you give and receive love

  • Sexual intimacy and physical affection

  • Personal values, family roles, and cultural or spiritual similarities and differences

  • Money, career, and long-term decision-making

  • Parenting, blended families, or future family planning

This process is about strengthening the foundation you already have and equipping you both to move forward with more clarity, more connection, and more confidence.

Our approach: supportive, relational, and deeply informed.

As a team of experienced couples therapists, we specialize in helping people build and sustain healthy, lasting relationships. All of our therapists are trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy an evidence based model that emphasizes emotional safety, secure connection, and real, lasting change.

Some of our therapists also offer the Prepare/Enrich assessment, a research-based tool that gives couples structured insight into the key areas of their relationship such as communication, conflict resolution, family systems, intimacy, values, and more. This helps couples name what’s going well and see clearly where to grow.

We will tailor your sessions to your specific goals and dynamic. No two couples are the same, and your therapy process won’t be either. We will meet you where you are, guide you with care, and support you in making the most of this exciting (and important) season of your life.
